But before the full table, some highlights I want to pick out.
  • Iga Swiatek is the most likely to win the tournament, with a 19.64% chance of winning the whole thing, with Simona Halep next at 10.4%. The 3rd most likely is Ons Jabeur with 9.37% and Daria Kasatkina 4th with 4.63%
  • Halep has the easiest overall draw, as she is 1.03 percentage points more likely to win the tournament than expected. This comes at the expense of Jabeur, as she is 1.03 percentage points less likely to win the tournament than expected.
  • Jasmine Paolini has the toughest 1st round match, as she's 37.61 percentage points less likely to win than a player of her rank is expected to win. Yuan Yue got the easiest 1st round draw, as she's 32.77 percentage points more likely to make it to round 2 than her ranking would expect.
